Sony Adds Weekly Wrap-Up Widget to PS5 Welcome Hub as Recently Played Stays Broken for 1 Month

3 articles · Updated · PlayStation LifeStyle · Jul 13

Summary

  • A new PS5 Welcome Hub card now shows players a Weekly Wrap-Up with their most-played game, total weekly playtime, trophies earned and rarest trophy unlocked.
  • Reddit users surfaced the feature, but its rollout remains unclear: some said they only recently saw the widget, while others still do not have it even after downloading the latest update.
  • The update arrives while PS5's Recently Played feature has remained broken for nearly a month for millions of users, an issue Sony has not publicly acknowledged.
  • That contrast leaves Sony quietly expanding the Welcome Hub even as a core activity-tracking function still appears unresolved.
